Thank you for helping me gain admission to my #1 choice MBA program: Columbia Business School! I am thrilled to be going there, and this opportunity is a dream come true.”

Columbia Business School Admit

I truly believe that my interactions with all of you not only provided a foundation for the application creation, but also, and more importantly, structured a platform for MY life at business school and beyond. I’m geared up for the next two years in large part because I was able to relate through my application and interviews who I am and what I hope to become. Thank you all for a phenomenal experience and I hope we continue to stay in touch into the future.”

Tuck Admit

I remember our initial meeting. I was terrified, daunted by the prospect of writing application essays. You made a profound impact on my life. Your mission has always been to identify the characteristics in your students and make them stand out. I hope you continue your work as long as possible. You are an amazing teacher and person. I feel extremely blessed to have worked with you.”

Very happy to share that I was accepted to HBS and to Stanford GSB! I’m going to take the day to enjoy this accomplishment before turning to the decision now at hand! What a journey! Many thanks for being my “sherpa” as we navigated the business school application mountain together.”

2020 wasn’t easy for enough reasons already, but you have made mine so incredibly easier. I don’t think I could have gotten through applications without your unwavering support and encouragement. Regardless of the outcome, I can’t thank you enough for everything.”

Stanford GSB MBA Admit

I can’t thank you enough for all of your help throughout this process. Thank you for pushing me and for supporting me – I couldn’t have done it without you. While the process was certainly not easy, I really enjoyed working with you and getting to know you so well. You were an incredible coach and at times therapist. ☺ I am very excited for this next chapter and hope to stay in touch.”

I know I’ve said this many times before but truly, thank you for all your coaching, support, and mentorship over the last 1.5 years. I’m so glad my friend introduced us, and working with you has really changed how I view myself. I know things are so unpredictable, but down the road, if you’re ever in Palo Alto, would love to meet you in person.”

I hope you’re doing well! I realized I hadn’t given you final confirmation on my MBA decision, so I just wanted to let you know I’ll be attending HBS this fall! I’m super excited and really thankful to have worked with you on my application. Your helpful advice that was tailored to me throughout the process truly made a difference. (My company actually had a lot of applicants on waitlists this year.)”

Words really cannot express my gratitude to you. In finding you, I could not have asked for a better advisor, confidant, and advocate in this process. Your patience was comforting and your gentle pushes were just what the doctor ordered. You encouraged me to confront my beliefs and my aspirations in an uncomfortable, but incredibly safe environment.

You challenged me to dig deeper and unearth aspects of me that I keep hidden, but that the world deserves to see. You never wavered in your commitment to me and my application. Your willingness to take the late or early phone call to accommodate me was so generous. I really cannot imagine going through this process without you. Your direction, belief, and high-bar drove me to bring my best self to work with you each day.

Attending Stanford has really been a lifelong dream of mine. And to this day, I have never really thought that dream was attainable, but you put me in the best position possible to achieve it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help in getting me this far. I hope that our journey together is just beginning and that you have many more pearls of wisdom to bestow upon me.”

HBS MBA Admit

HBS said to save this card for someone special who helped me along my journey, and I couldn’t think of anyone better. I can’t thank you enough for the past year… It has been a wild ride to say the least. From laughing, to crying, to feeling anxious, frustrated, worried, demoralized, and tired (many nights of insomnia…) to finally feeling elated. There is one thing that is crystal clear – that I couldn’t have done it without you. You’re an absolute wizard at your craft and a genius at storytelling. You were more than an advisor, you were my teacher, therapist, life coach, friend, mentor and greatest support system. Thank you for always believing in me and giving me the confidence to succeed. I will be forever grateful for you and all that you have given me.”

Hi Marie, Maureen, & Lisa!

Two friends and I just wanted to share a little update from us! We recently realized that all three of us wouldn’t be here at the GSB without the three of you.

We were in the same T-group during Touchy Feely last spring and were all Arbuckle Fellows this past year together. We were even in the same Lead Labs squad the first quarter as MBA1s! I hosted them for dinner earlier this month and we learned that we all have you three to thank for us being all together in this amazing place.

Little did we know, our journey together at the GSB started long before we even met on campus. We just wanted to share our immense gratitude for your help with not only our applications, but also in our development as people (and now as friends!).”

I hope you are well! I just wanted to thank you again for all your advice and the time spent over the last few months guiding me through my business school application process. I really enjoyed working with you as I crafted my application and Lisa’s advice during the mock interview was spot on. Specifically, thank you for keeping me organized amidst all the craziness and for being flexible. I can sincerely say that the experience not only challenged me to think about my story from a fresh lens, but also equipped me with the knowledge to tackle business school and beyond. I would not have been admitted to the Stanford GSB, my dream school, without you, and I truly appreciate it.”

The encouragement and support you’ve provided throughout the entire process has truly been above & beyond – I couldn’t have done it without you.”
Is there anything that I can do to pay it forward to you / The Admission Advisory Group going forward? You have been such an incredible resource for me and would love help in any way that I can!

USC Marshall Admit

I had a great experience with The Admission Advisory Group. The advice that I received was extremely valuable in helping me select schools and successfully complete the application process. I will definitely recommend The Admission Advisory Group to others in the future.”
